He's started turning my own words back on me. One morning I asked him to do something, like eat breakfast probably. He replied "Mommy! You are being very naughty to me! How many times do I have to tell you!"
One morning he woke up super upset and was crying (with his eyes still closed and still half asleep)
Hudson: I'm just so mad that my mommy is married!
Ben: Why?
Hudson: Because I am just so mad at my daddy!
(And it went on and on for awhile, repeated different variations of that conversation).
15 minutes later:
Hudson: I'm happy now.
Chase was being punished and he was in his room crying (fairly hysterically- he was really tired) and I was trying to talk to him, when Hudson literally pokes his head in Chase's room (with his little bum sticking out behind him) and says all calmly and patronizingly "Chaser, use your words!"
Hudson was explaining Easter to Ben, "So they put Jesus in the tomb. And then the angels came and knocked on the door. And then they rolled away the stone and Jesus was alive! And then he took off in his rocketship! Zoom...Zoom....ZOOOOOOOM"
After a really rough night of trying to get him in bed (that included a lot of Hudson screaming at me, "NAUGHTY! NAUGHTY! NAUGHTY MOMMY!"), when Ben came home from young men's he took over Hudson duty. 15 minutes later a calm, and reluctant Hudson came in to my room. His quiet, pouty little voice said, "Sorry. I don't want to hug you." And then he just stood there straight as a board while I hugged him and refused to hug back.
He noticed a picture from years ago where Papa is holding him and has a watch on his wrist. And then he noticed Papa doesn't wear the watch anymore. So he asked Papa about it. And now even complete strangers have heard the story from Hudson "Papa had a watch but he broked it. He cut the band."
A few weeks later at a family dinner he came up to my mom and said, "Nana, can I tell you a story. A long, long time ago there were dinosaurs and a volcano...(and then he kind of walked around the room whilst telling this elaborate story involving dinosaurs, a volcano, and all about somehow that's related to how Papa's watch broke.)"
Mom, do you take your vitamins so you can keep up with us crazy kids?

"Sorry. I don't want to hug you." is my new favorite...
